Quick Take Headline: My New Column

Short entry for now. My new column is up at CounterBias. It examines the Right's continued, and strange, obsession with Bill Clinton (and, to a lesser extent, Hillary Clinton). Good lord, the man has been out of office for years, but conservatives have some sort of deep-rooted obsession with the Clintons. The irony is, as they claim that Bill Clinton will do anything to stay in the spotlight, it is their efforts which puts Clinton into the spotlight. Sean Hannity invokes his name on a regular basis. Same with Limbaugh. If Bill Clinton were to pass away tomorrow, conservative pundits and politicians would find a huge, empty place in their black hearts. Without an easy target like Bill Clinton, what would conservatives do? They'd have to find someone new to obsess over. Roger Clinton?

Anyway, if you read the column, drop me a line and let me know what you think.
